This is more like "welcome to the Umineko community" rather than "welcome to Umineko".

No, it's literally a quality of Umineko itself, since Ryukishi wrote things in a way that calls everything into suspicion in a story where he told us to suspect what we're told. The fact that you take some things at face value only means you're willing to make certain assumptions about what we're being told. It doesn't put you in a different situation from anyone else. At best, you're not overthinking things; at worst, you're not thinking enough.

Because they are believed to be closer to the heart of the story or more accurate in some way.
Except the people reading have no way of knowing whether this is true, and are so apparently unsophisticated that they cannot determine thematic veracity (which is a way you could declare the Hachijou forgeries more authentic even if you don't know the facts). If they actually were capable of doing what Alliance suggests they can do, they would never behave the way they do in Twilight.

If this is how Ryukishi thinks literary analysts are (and he certainly seems to think so given Twilight), one could argue that HE doesn't know the difference.
Hrrrrm, it all keeps piling up...
